HC Deb 27 February 1896 vol 37 c1257
MR. HARRY FOSTER (Suffolk, Lowestoft)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether there is any intention to adopt the suggestions of the recent Prisons Commission, and in particular the recommendation that chief warders in charge shall be called governors, with all the privileges attaching to that office?

SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

A recommendation has been made to the Treasury for the purpose of carrying out, with some slight modification, the recommendation of the Prisons Commission, to which the hon. Member particularly refers. The answer to the general part of his question will be given in the statement which I have promised to lay upon the Table of the House.
